A slightly more sane introduction

Watch the video in the post before this one if you haven't already.

Now you're probably at least slightly confused. I know I am. So hopefully this post clarifies some things.

So the first question many of you may have is the title of the blog - why "Bruce Lee and a Blue Chicken?"

Another question you might have is what exactly the purpose of the blog is. In the video, I said that I wasn't planning on giving "day-to-day descriptions of my thoughts, opinions, and activities." This is false. In fact, the main reason I have this blog is so that people who want to can keep track of how I'm doing. But I'm probably not going to have too many posts of that sort, and they won't be very long - this isn't a diary, I'm not going to share my entire life with the whole internet. If you want to know more specifics about something I post about, I'd be glad to talk to you about it. So I'll have a couple posts every now and then that will "paint my life in broad strokes" (source: cliché generator) and the rest of the time... I'll just have fun doing whatever I feel like. And you can watch me do it! :D

Now some of you are probably still wondering about the title. But some of you may be wondering instead about the tools I use to make my videos. The last one was shot entirely on an iphone 4 camera, and edited using Corel Videostudio Pro. Just whatever I happened to have. I'm not too interested at this point in getting into the high quality equipment, as some of my friends are (and making incredible videos as a result) - maybe later?

Anyways, there's an interesting story behind the title of this blog. But a bit of background first, for those of you who may not know me that well - my name is Jonathan Love, and at the time of the writing of this post, I am just about to enter university at the University of Toronto. I spent most of my school years at an international school in Tokyo called Christian Academy in Japan (although a few years here and there were spent in Canada). I'm interested in a wide range of things, but my "primary" interests include, math, music, and Jesus. Any and all of these could come out in any given post, but it's just as likely that I'll talk about something completely unrelated (politics, basketball, sewing, friendship, etc). That's basically enough about me for now.

All right, back to the title. Basically, it comes from the
